Nicholas, There's not much to it once you have the vtkExporter subclass ready. For making that exporter available in ParaView, you create a XML putting the definition under the "exporters" group. The proxy definition should use a (http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/cxx-doc/classvtkSMExporterProxy.html) (or subclass, e.g. RenderViewExporterProxy).
The exporter dialog when created looks for all definitions available under the "exporters" group that "CanExport" (http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/cxx-doc/classvtkSMExporterProxy.html#a6a12e9c1401140db5a278617901a0603) the active view and add that exporter's extension to the list.
